Gem Dinosaur Bone cut on two sides from the Morrison Formation, sourced from an old stock collection. This piece is very unique - it features creamy white jasper with black flecks rather than the more typical colorful gembone patterns. The bone cast remains visible on the outside, and the structure appears to be a phenomenon involving broken or collapsed trabeculae (the internal bone tissue framework).

Gem Dinosaur Bone is authentic silicated dinosaur fossil material preserved through natural mineralization, making it a unique lapidary stone for collectors and jewelry makers. This prehistoric gemstone material originates from worldwide locations including Utah, Colorado, New Mexico, and Morocco. During fossilization, silica replaces the original bone structure while preserving distinctive cellular patterns, with colors derived from minerals present during formation. All available Gem Dinosaur Bone is old stock material, as collecting from public lands is now federally prohibited.
WHAT MAKES IT SPECIAL
The creamy white jasper with black flecks composition is genuinely unusual for gem dinosaur bone. The preserved bone cast exterior alongside the collapsed trabeculae structure tells a specific fossilization story you can see in person.
PERFECT FOR
• Cabochon cutting
• Fossil collectors
• Morrison Formation specimens
